Asthma - Ephedrine sulfate injection is indicated in the treatment of allergic disorders, such as bronchial asthma. Oral ephedrine is indicated for temporary relief of shortness of breath, tightness of chest, and wheezing caused by bronchial asthma. Eases breathing for asthma patients by reducing spasms of bronchial muscles. 

EPHEDRINE SULFATE Ephedrine sulfate is a sympathomimetic alkaloid that stimulates alpha and beta receptors as well as the CNS. It is effective orally and parenterally. It is less potent than epinephrine.

Ephedrine sulfate, Kondon s Nasal, Pretz-D, or Vicks Vatronol is classified as a decongestant and vasopressor. 

Ephedrine sulfate (C10H15ON)2H2SO4, when dried over sulfuric acid for 24 h, contains not less than 75.5% and not more than 77.3% of anhydrous ephedrine C10H15ON. 

In this condition, ephedrine is used primarily as a chronic medication for mild or only moderately acute cases, especially in children. In severe asthma, the response to ephedrine is usually poor. Compared with epinephrine, ephedrine is less reliable, is slower in action and longer in duration, and probably more often produces undesirable side effects. The average dose is 25 to 50 mg, orally, repeated three or four times a day. Resistance often develops it may often be controlled by discontinuing the drug for a few days. In many patients, ephedrine produces anxiety, nervousness, and insomnia, so a barbiturate is often administered at the same time. Capsules containing either 15 mg of amobarbital, 25 mg of pentobarbital sodium, or 30 mg of phenobarbital in addition to 25 mg of ephedrine sulfate have been used in the past. 

In complete heart block with Stokes-Adams syncope, ephedrine may prove of value in a manner similar to epinephrine. In the attempt to increase ventricular rate and prevent ventricular asystole, an initial dose of about 8 mg of ephedrine sulfate orally may be tried. Later, the dosage may be increased to 25 mg three or four times daily. Syncope due to ventricular tachycardia can also be prevented in some cases with ephedrine. 

Many of the adrenergic agents produce a transient, incomplete mydriasis when applied to the eye. Cycloplegia does not occur. Ephedrine sulfate in a 3% concentration has been used for this purpose. As has been indicated, the effect is most positive in Caucasians with light-colored irides. Ephedrine is not considered to be a good mydriatic, as it is none too reliable and its solutions are quite irritating to the cornea. Phenylephrine should probably be the adrenergic mydriatic of choice.
